. . . Tribute To HEROES . While the dogtag is used to provide information on an individual serviceman, I also believe that the chain which holds them represents a connection to all servicemen, no matter where you served, how you served or when you served. . The Minuteman in 1776 has a connection to the soldier fighting in Afghanistan today. That connection is every individual who has ever served in the United States Military. Each of us represents a link in the chain that connects that Minuteman of over 200 years ago to the soldier in Afghanistan today. SAMWolf . . Tribute to Vietnam Veterans Please click on picture. .

Today's FEEBLE attempt at humor:

A recent study reported that scientists have revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones. To prove their theory, they fed 100 men 12 pints of lager and observed that 100% of them gained weight, talked incessantly without making sense, were frequently overcome by emotion, and couldn't drive.

"Slick's DemonRATS"
(To be sung to Bruce Springteen's "Pink Cadillac")

Left may think we're foolish...
Fer the righteous things we do.
Slick, you wonder why we taunt you...
Why you insult our values like you do.
Slick Willie, you are a SCUMBAG...
There ain't no secret 'bout that!!
So, come on over here and LISTEN...
Willie, I'll spill the facts!
Slick Willie, it ain't yer Country...
Indictment'll be proof of that!!
We loathe you fer yer Waco Attack...
Nukes to Chinese...
Rapin' Broaddrick...
Uzi'in' down the FRee...
Skankin' on young girls...
Bullyin' the Right...
Spendin' all our tax-money on yer overseas flights!!
Willie, I just wonder...
Why Lib'rals still cut you slack...
With yer knife in their backs...
Slick's DemonRATS!!!!

Bill Clinton desecrates his Bible...
Bombs Nations justa show he's strong!!
There's always another temptress...
Prez'dent really oughtta know doin' interns is WRONG!!
Chi-Coms bought you, Bill, with Silver...
Slick, you sold our NUKES fer Gold!!
Tyrants BRIBE Ol' Slick with treasures...
National Security's been SOLD!!
Lewinsky tempted Clinton with her strap thong...
Slick said, "Lemme snort a li'l crack!!"
Just another of Slick's DemonRATS!!
Indict the CREEP...
Next, WE SHALL CONVICT!!
In jail, Slick'll sleep!!
Prison's Slick's New World...
Prison's only right...
Savin' all his lovin' fer a cellmate named Dwight!! (BWAHAHAHA!!!)
Willie, I just wonder if you'll sleep well in yer rack...
Or will YOU simply crack?!

Now some folks say we're too BOLD...
We should "show more class."
Some folks say we're too cold...
Well, DemRATS can kiss my a$$!!
This Country is bigger than Bill Clinton...
It's bigger than the Med'yuh, too!!
Clinton, there's only one thing...
That I must say to you...
"Slick Willie...Sic Semper Tyrannis!!!"
FReepers, we must go on the attack...
And kick the butts of all Slick's DemonRATS!!
Slick's DemonRATS...Slick's DemonRATS...Slick's DemonRATS...

THE OLDEST JOKE THAT I KNOW!


There once was a land known as Tridania!

All the people were known as the Trids.

They were very nice people.

They had one major problem.

Their water supply was a burden.

One day they ran out.

The only other place where they could get water was from a well on a Mountain.

Unfortunately, the Mountain was owned by a Giant who hated the Trids!

He kept kicking the Trids off the mountain whenever they came for water.

One day they decided to send up the local Priest in hopes that he might reason with them.

The Giant kicked him off of the mountain.

The Trids decided that the Giant might be Protestant.

They then sent up a Minister.

The Giant kicked him off too!

They became sad and began to make plans to leave their homes.

Well then there appeared a traveling Rabbi!

He saw that they were all sad.

The Rabbi asked "what is the problem?"

The Trids told him about the water problem and the Giant!

The Rabbi offered to go up and talk to the Giant.

So he goes up expecting to be kicked.

The Giant is very polite to him and gives him all the water that he wants.

The Rabbi is surprised and asks the Giant if he is Jewish.
He asks him how come he didn't kick him too.

The Giant says.

"Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids!"





If you do not get it then I am really old!

Mail Call is such a thrill each week. Thank you for posting this feedback. We live on it!

Dear Benjamin,

We are so honored with your words. We can never repay you for what you are doing. We posted your letter on the Missouri FReep thread. The peaceniks will know now what they are truly dealing with. Thank you for taking the time to write and tell us.

[Radix]

Dear Fluffy Pickle Squirt

aka my friend Carol(US ARMY),

I am sorry that I made you cry. LoL! You are so sweet. You are the best thing that has happened to me since my Patriots won yesterday!

Seriously, thank you for your words. I will be sure to think about you if I am ever in the "poem zone" again. Heh heh heh! That might not be a good thing!


You are quite the writer yourself. The things that you write about here shows that all of the efforts of the Canteeners are really worth it. You made me feel better today. Thank You! You make it all worthwhile.

I consider myself to be relatively new Canteener. each day that I come here I learn more about the true value of it. The entire concept and the reality of it keeps getting me right there in my center part. Know what I mean?

All of you Volunteers and the fabulous girls that post here have really helped me to focus on what my real priorities should be. Some of the guys are OK too!

I remember things now about just what it was like to be away from "the World" as we called it. The more that I reflect on it the more that I realize just what it is that is most important. I will try to contribute more.

I have made new friends here and it just keeps getting better. Thank You for your Service.

Thanks for the words. I feel flattered.

I somehow stumbled onto this Canteen site a few months ago. Has it been that long already? I did not really get it at first. I somehow got posting to Linda a bit and I just sort of moved on. Checking here once in a while. Later I ran into Coteblanche in another thread.

Coteblanche told me about the Canteen. She had no idea that I had already yakked with Linda. Cote gave me a formal introduction, and since then I am here for good.

You know that saying "Everything happens for a reason." I honestly believe in that. I am so pleased to have the privilege of just even knowing about the Canteen. I think that I was sort of "called" here if that makes any sort of sense.

I love it here. I have a lot to learn about the graphics stuff though. There are those here that have helped me and I will try to learn. That is another thing that I like. The Team attitude here. Everyone seems to know just what it is that is important. They all help me and others. It is almost like Family, actually, it is Family.

Thank you Pirates for your words. Thank You for your Service. I will keep you also in mind if I ever feel "silly" again.

Consider that a warning. You know the proverbial "shot over the bow."

Have a great Day!

Air Power

McDONNELL RF-101C "VOODOO"

The F-101 lineage included several versions: low-altitude fighter-bomber, photo reconnaissance, two-seat interceptor and transition trainer. To accelerate production, no prototypes were built, the first Voodoo, an F-101A, made its initial flight on September 29, 1954. When production ended in March 1961, nearly 800 Voodoos had been built. Development of the unarmed RF-101, the world's first supersonic photo-recon aircraft, began in 1956 while 35 RF-101As and 166 RF-101Cs were produced, many earlier single-seat Voodoos were converted to the reconnaissance configuration.

The RF-101C pictured participated in "Operation Sun Run," a high-speed transcontinental flight on November 27, 1957. Using air-to-air refueling, a team of Voodoos set nonstop speed records from Los Angeles to New York City and return. Capt Ray W. Schrecengost, flying the plane on display, broke three existing speed records. This Voodoo flew vital low-altitude reconnaissance during the Cuban Missile Crisis and helped confirm that offensive missile sites in Cuba were being dismantled. It also served in Southeast Asia (SEA) with the 45th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, one of the first aircraft in SEA to revert to camouflage markings for combat use. It was transferred from the 186th Tactical Reconnaissance Group, Mississippi Air National Guard, Key Field, Mississippi, to the USAF Museum on October 27, 1978.

How many days until spring?????

GOOD MORNING REAL AMERICA.

GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY PERSONNEL, PAST AND PRESENT, AND YOUR FAMILIES FOR PROTECTING OUR COUNTRY. THANK YOU TO OUR CANADIAN AND ISRAELI ALLIES FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.

Benjamin, USAF - We do so little compared to you and rest of our troops that words alone cannot express our gratitude. Thank you from Mid Missouri Patriots.

OFF THE PRESS!

.

Tomorrow has come again. Well, tomorrow will let us know whether those grandmas in Palm Beach can vote correctly in an election. I'm not holding my breath, are you? Anyways, I just wanted to help any Democratic voter with voting. First, R stands for Republican, D stands for Dumbass, L stands for Libertarian. (MoJo suggests voting Republican) Second, it is important to understand these following words: Please vote only ONCE. It is ILLEGAL to vote more than once. So? If you see Pedro, Jamar, Buckwheat, Thelma Lou, or anyone else hanging around the polling station, give them a dollar and give them a ride to WalMart. (MoJo is amused at how many people just go to WalMart because they are bored.) Third, knowing how to speak English is a plus. If you are confused about what to do, I'd suggest just (holding my breath) punching the R on the ballot. Fourth, don't forget that if you want Osama bin Laden to strike America again---vote Dumbass. If you want America to unleash, vote R for Republican. Fifth, if you want to save whales and trees and hate big corporations still vote R for Republican. Whales are big dumb fish, trees can be replanted, and big corporations give us great things like Pepsi, toilet paper, soap, and toothpaste. (MoJo mentions this because peaceniks seem to smell real bad. No wonder they always stir up riots. They stink) Sixth, if there are any measures on the ballots that is demanding that you give up your rights, send more money to your politician, or increase your taxes..VOTE NO! Why idiots in this country happily vote for tax increases is beyond me. Seventh, remember "DEAD PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE". (MoJo realizes this is a toughy for you, but it is still illegal.) Eighth, people who aren't Americans are not allowed to vote. (Well, they can vote; but that is still ILLEGAL). Ninth, Peggy Sue's imaginary friend is not allowed to vote.( MoJo knows that her imaginary friend is probably really cool and smarter than the average voter, but laws are laws and she can't vote) Tenth, if you can't read a ballot in English...TOO BAD! (MoJo doesn't want any taxpayer dollars being spent to ensure that there are Creole language balloting..send me some food, but vote in English) Eleventh, (MoJo thinks this is important) If you are a female and feel this need to be needy or to demand more money from MoJo's pocket to help take care of Bebe's kids, SIT YOUR ASS AT HOME and DON"T VOTE! MoJo is not to blame for your need to spread your legs and pop out kids. Neither is anyone else in America. Just sit at home and look through the papers for a JOBBY JOB. It's alright! We don't mind if you actually work and do something useful for America. Twelfth, (On the twelfth day of Christmas..oops) Anyways, if you believe that you are a person born with a fabulous tan; it is okay to vote R for Republican. It is okay to vote differently than your grandma (sitting on her butt either raising Bebe's kids or complaining about white people), Aunt Know-It-All (Why is it that people with fabulous tans have the most annoying aunts in the world. They can't get a man to live with them, but the rest of the family is required to. WRONG), Uncle Complain All The Time (MoJo thinks it's amusing that the aunts and uncles in certain families just aren't allowed to marry each other. They are best suited for each other), the offsprings of the above mentioned. (MoJo would like to remind these offsprings that while voting is a right, it doesn't mean you have to take advantage of it. If you think voting D is okay, then sit at home and kick it with your boyz and girlz) Thirteenth, if you can't punch or hit a little hole to vote..I'd suggest not breeding. Actually, MoJo demands it!! Anyways, that's the voting guide tips for the Democratic voters too confused. Are we all squared away??

What do you call it when white people murder black people in America? A hate crime. What do you call black people murdering white people in America? Conspiracy against black people. So? Today was a victory for good old plain justice. Two brothers in Wichita, Kansas were found guilty of murdering four friends (Not their friends) who happened to be white. They have been charged with four counts of capital murder. Bravo! Of course, can you not hear the ACLU and the NAACP moaning about how unfair that they were being tried in Mighty Whitey Kansas? Well, don't plan on killing anyone in Kansas if you don't want to die. Sympathy to the Carr's mother. She will have lost 2 sons because of their evilness. For the rest of us, our streets have gotten a little safer.

Those "allies" of ours known as the Saudis have decided that we will not be permitted to use their bases against a war in Iraq. (As if anyone was surprised by this) Anyways, the Saudis are about as worthless as the French. So? The Saudi's don't want us to use their bases. Here's MoJo's take: Trash every base that we have set up there. (Take the damn toilets as well) Then remind the Saudi's that they need to return our jets as well. (Only allies can have them) Remind them that we will be pulling out and stopping anymore joint exercises with them. And when Osama bin Laden's men come and overthrow the royal family..we will not shed one tear. So? KISS OUR BUTT'S SAUDIA ARABIA!

The picture above is of Janet Reno. (MoJo thinks her sorry Parkinson's butt needs to be in jail) Anyways, she will be doing Playboy soon. (Yes, you read it correctly) Janet will be featured in Playboy. Hmmm...I wonder how many copies will be sold. Now before you gag all over yourself...we can only pray that Heffner will only want her interview and not actually nude poses of her. Can you imagine Janet Reno with a Playboy Bunny outfit? (MoJo's imagination CANNOT GO THERE! UGH) So? Headed to a store near you is Janet The PlayMate! (I'm sure you are all anxious to get your copy!! NOT)

The pictures above are of the Minogue sisters. Dannii and Kylie to be exact. As you can imagine, both are singers and actresses. Although, Kylie is more well known in the world as a singer. Anyways, while you are fighting the war against terrorists..Dannii is complaining about a few things. First, she's upset that her sister has a better "bum" than her. (Brit's say bum! We say BOOTY) Also, Dannii is worried that she will not be taken seriously in the business because she's blonde. (Is this an neverending sob story about being blonde in the world. GET OVER IT) However, she does tell the world that she absolutely loves her sister. (I hear about that kind of love on Jerry Springer all the time. They love each other so much that one of them backstabs the other to take everything. Gotta just shake your head)

\

The "JACKASS"AWARD goes to the doctors that think we should allow obese children to have surgeries to decrease their stomach. MoJo wonders what a little exercise, eating right, and getting off their rear end could do for them? However, that's too darn logical and it's cruel. (Yes, it's cruel to make a child exercise in America. Thank you, ACLU. Jerks) Anyways, these doctors believe that it could help improve the way these "children feel about themselves". (MoJo guarantees that they don't care what they look like. They only care about how that candy is going to taste like going down.) Anyways, these guys deserve the JACKASS AWARD for making excuses for parents, other doctors, and kids. Only in America!

The Canteen Girlz would like to salute all of our military personnel and allies around the world. We SALUTE YOU!!

Today's classic warship delayed by greyhound adoption.

Wink, a retired racer, arrived Saturday morning and has taken up all of my time. I'll post a ship in the morning. Right now Wink wants to go out (again!).

[redhead]

Whoosh! Hi, Snowbie! I missed you all so bad yesterday, but we were gone the entire day entertaining friends. Then we had to hurry to church for Bible Study. And tonight, we are off again. I'll try to hurry and squeeze this in and tell you that once more the Mail Call has reduced me to tears.

How this can be with such funny letters, I don't know, but they are SO loving, and so charitable, I can't help but want to hug each and every writer until his (or HER--Fluffy Pickle Squirt!) eyes pop!

Anyway, I won't have time to answer each email separately, but I want each of these wonderful people to know how much I love them. We pray for their safety every day. (I remember when my son was stationed in Turkey how much it meant to him to hear from home, so I wrote two or three times a week. He must have thought I was a kook, but I know he loved every word.)

So I am giving orders here: If you have a loved one overseas, WRITE OFTEN! not only that, but WRITE OFTEN!!! We love you troops! Come home safely, and bring the VICTORY!

Love and prayers,

[BeachBelle]

Hello Carol!

It's such a pleasure to "meet" you, and I'm so happy to be even a small part of this wonderful group of people here in the FReeper Canteen.

If there's anything more we can do to express our gratitude to you and the troops, please let us know!

God Bless you and keep you safe!
